Questions and Answers

This laser targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and shaft. The light is absorbed

by the pigment in the hair follicle and this energy is converted to heat which results in

damage to the hair follicle. This damage causes delayed re-growth of hair and, in most

cases, permanent destruction of many hair follicles. Unlike electrolysis, which disables

one hair follicle at a time, the laser reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time.

 

2. Does it hurt? 

The cooling tip has a mild aesthetic property, which allows tender areas to be treated in

a relatively painless fashion.

 

3. How many treatments will I need? 

We recommend six treatments. In fact, it is not uncommon for a person to need seven or

more. There are a variety of factors that can influence the total number of treatments

any individual may require to achieve the desired results.

 

4. What about blonde / red / grey hair? 

The laser energy is attracted to the melanin in your hair. The greater the amount of

melanin the better the results. White or grey hair does not contain any melanin,therefore

does not respond to treatments.

 

5. Do I need to grow the hair out before my consultation / treatment? 

No, in fact we ask that you do shave the area you want treated. We’re actually

targeting the anatomical structures below the skin. Surface hair interferes with this process.

 

6. How long before I see results? 

You will see some results immediately. It takes a week or two for all of the hair in the treated

area to fall out. After that, you will experience several weeks of no growth in the treated area.

So you’re receiving immediate gratification while you are moving toward your long-term goal.

 

7. Can I be treated while taking medications? 

The only medications that are prohibited for Laser Hair Removal are Accutane and Retin-A,

which must be discontinued prior to treatment. During your consultation,

we’ll review any medications or supplements that you are currently taking to help determine
